It is the postmortem change which results in the stiffening of the muscles. It helps predict the time since death.

Automaticity of a muscle is when a muscle can depolarize and generate an action on impulse. In simpler words it's when a muscle can perform action without occupying the mind.

# data[].attributes.body
It is when a muscle is able to respond to stimuli. Normally the stimuli is delivered by a motor neuron or hormone.

Elasticity is when a muscle can stretch to reach its full capacity of movement without limitation. In other words it allows the muscle to go back to its original length after contraction.

# data[].attributes.body
Extensibility is when a muscle is stretched. It is important as it relates to the strength and power muscles can generate.

It is when a cell is shortened forcefully. It allows muscle tissue to pull on its attachment points and shorten.

A calcium facilitates the interaction between actin and myosin when contractions occurs. It is significant as it transmits nerve impulses to the muscle fiber.

5. Calcium and the Biochemistry of Muscle Contraction (Invertebrate)

# data[].attributes.body
It is a superfamily of motor proteins. They are important for their role in muscle contraction and other motility process that occur in eukaryotes.

Actin is a protein that creates the contractile filaments of a cell, specifically the muscle cell. Actin is also included in the motion in other cells.

# data[].attributes.body
The mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle protein that slide past each other to create movement. This is the reasoning the mechanism that causes muscle contraction.

A skeletal muscle is voluntary and part of the organs of the vertebrate. It looks long and cylindrical.

A cardiac muscle is an involuntary muscle, located only in the heart. It has a striated appearance.

# data[].attributes.body
A smooth muscle is an involuntary muscle. This means it contracts slowly and spontaneously. The appearance under a microscope shows no cross strip.

A condition noticeable by  intermittent muscle spasms. It is caused by a flaw in the parathyroid gland and deficiency of calcium.

Tetanus is a infection due to Clostridium tetani, a bacteria. It is also called "lockjaw". It causes painful muscle contractions and the production of a toxin.

# data[].attributes.body
Clonic spasms are quick and relaxing muscle contractions. While Tonic Spasms are rigid and long muscle contractions.

# data[].attributes.body
Spasm means a sudden sudden involuntary muscle contraction. It can happen to a muscle, group of muscles, or a hallow organ.

Muscle Fatigue is the decline in the capability of muscle force. The force behind your muscles movements decrease which makes you feel fatigue. It can be caused by extreme workouts.

5 basic functions of the muscular system

# data[].attributes.body
The 5 basic functions of the muscular system are 1. makes hold the body erect, 2. make movement possible, 3. move food through the digestive system, 4. muscle movement aid the flow of blood through veins, 5. muscle actions move fluid through the ducts and tube associated with the body systems. The muscular system works with many other body systems.

A fascia is the thin casing of connective tissue. It boarders and contains every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle.

Ten/o, tend/o,and tendin/o are all word parts for tendons. A tendon is a connective tissue. It connects muscle and bones.
